Depending on the country where you are based and the model of Panel installed, the Services may include features such as web monitoring services, graphic tools, advertisements, and weather information; however, some of the features may have different names and may be combined with other features. LGE reserves the right to add or remove services from its Websites and to modify its Services from time to time.

LGE’s Services may provide access to “websites” and links to other services owned and operated by third parties.
